Datang romantic little landlord

As soon as the group entered the county memorial archway, the county magistrate of Wannian County greeted them after being notified.

The county magistrate of Wannian County, whose surname is Lu and whose name is Dejing, is a collateral clan of the Lu family in Fanyang.

But he didn't know anything about today's events, and Wang Ziqiao didn't let anyone inform him at all.

Hearing the report from his subordinates, Minister of the Ministry of War and Duke of Wei Li Jing led his family to escort Tan Bantou, a yamen servant in the county yamen, to the county yamen.

He didn't know what happened to that damn team leader Tan, but it must be a big deal if Wei Guogong personally escorted them back to the county government.

"Your official has seen Duke Wei."

"Lu Ming Mansion, these government servants belong to your Wannian county government?" Li Jing didn't give him a good look, and asked directly.

Lu Dejing secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and nodded cautiously: "Exactly, I don't know how these bastards made Wei Guogong angry? The officials will definitely not spare them!"

Li Jing snorted coldly: "Hmph, these bastards are really damned for being drunk on duty and accusing others of stealing money!"

He pointed at Li Wangyou as he spoke, implying that this is the sufferer who was framed by these yamen servants.

Lu Dejing hurriedly looked up, but seeing a young man in white, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

It's not as good as provoking some noble family or honor, just a commoner in white, that's not a big deal.

Just give him some compensation later, and then reprimand this group of yamen servants.

Note: Li Jing was still the Duke of Wei in the second year of Zhenguan, which was advanced in the novel.

212 False accusation plus third class

Lu Dejing glared at Bantou Tan, this old fritter caused him so much trouble, if it wasn't for his daughter's sake, he would definitely not be spared lightly today!

Although Tan Bantou is older than Lu Dejing, he can be regarded as Lu Dejing's half father-in-law.

Because he gave his youngest daughter to Lu Dejing as a concubine.

Although a concubine's room is not considered a marriage in the Tang Dynasty, Lu Dejing loved and doted on Miss Tan, so he took good care of Bantou Tan.

Lu Dejing also knew that Team Tan wanted to transfer internal officials, but he was the leader of the yamen servants, and he didn't even count as a foreign official, let alone transferred from outside to inside.

So he can only turn a blind eye to Bantou Tan's usual actions, as long as the trouble is not too much, he has the right to ignore it.

Tan Bantou has worked in the county government for half his life, and he knows all kinds of ways in the county government. He also made a lot of benefits by relying on the name of Lu county magistrate.

What happened today, in Lu Dejing's view, was just that Team Leader Tan wanted to blackmail others and get some benefits, but he didn't want to be so unlucky that he was bumped into by Wei Guogong Li Jing.

It wasn't the first time Tan Bantou and the others had done this kind of thing, and Lu Dejing didn't take it seriously.

At most, they would put these government servants in prison in front of Li Jing, and release them after Li Jing left.

Anyway, it is impossible for Duke Wei to stay in the county government, so he has to wait for him to deal with it on the spot.This kind of thing is nothing more than a procrastination, and it will be calm after a period of delay.

Noble people like Duke Wei still think about such trivial things all the time.

As for the sufferer, it is enough to send a few pennies, so how dare he express his dissatisfaction?

Having made up his mind, Lu Dejing bowed his hands to Li Jing and apologized with a smile, while beckoning the servants to take Bantou Tan and the others down.

"Wei Guogong, all the subordinates are lax in controlling their subordinates. They are really dereliction of duty. This kind of dereliction of duty and framing other people's yamen servants, the subordinates will definitely punish them severely!"

Li Jing didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Dejing's words. The reason why he personally escorted these yamen servants to the Wannian County Yamen was just to show his attitude. As for how to deal with it, it was naturally the responsibility of Lu Dejing, the county magistrate, and he would not do it for him. .

However, Li Wangyou heard the meaning of the magistrate Lu's words. Isn't it clear that he intends to lift it high and put it down gently?

What must be severely punished, such empty talk has no meaning at all.

Seeing that the yamen servant was about to take Tan Bantou and the others away, Li Wangyou hurriedly stopped him.

"and many more."

"What? This young man is not satisfied with the county's handling?" Lu Dejing asked dissatisfiedly when he saw Li Wangyou stop him, and the face that was originally smiling at Li Jing fell down.

Li Wangyou didn't mind his expression at all, and asked directly: "May I ask the Ming Dynasty, how does the "Tang Law Shuyi" stipulate the punishment for stealing other people's property?"

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the punishment for robbery is still very severe.

"Law of the Tang Dynasty Thieves Law" stipulates: "Thieves who do not get rich, the answer is fifty; one foot rod is sixty, one horse plus one grade; .”

Facing Li Wangyou's question, Lu Dejing didn't answer, but just snorted softly: "The county will decide this matter for you, step aside first."

Even Li Jing noticed Lu Dejing's perfunctory answer, and said dissatisfiedly, "Lu Mingfu, why didn't you answer Xiao Lang's question?"

"This..." Seeing what Li Jing said, Lu Dejing had no choice but to answer honestly: "Thieves don't get rich, answer fifty..."

Hearing him recite the part about robbers in Tang law, Li Wangyou sneered and pointed to the gilt statue in Niu Wu's hand.

"The team leader said that X stole this gold-plated god statue. If it is true, how should X be punished?"

This statue is made of copper, with a gilt surface. Li Wangyou estimates that the price of this statue will not be lower than a hundred copper coins, and its value obviously far exceeds the value of fifty bolts of silk.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if Li Wangyou really stole the statue, according to the law, he would be exiled for three thousand miles and served three years of hard labor.

"This..." Lu Dejing didn't know how to answer, he vaguely guessed why Li Wangyou asked such a question.

Sure enough, without waiting for his answer, Li Wangyou pointed to the stone tablet standing at the west tip of the county government corridor, on which was engraved with the words "False accusation plus third class".

"Mingfu, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, false accusations are given a third class. I don't know if this person is right? Since this group leader has falsely accused a person of theft, should they be punished by adding a third class to the crime?"

"False accusation plus third class" refers to aggravated punishment for falsely accusing others.

As soon as Li Wangyou said this, Lu Dejing's face immediately became very ugly, and the team leader Tan and a group of yamen servants also looked ashen.

"Enough! The county will investigate this matter clearly and give you an explanation." Lu Dejing didn't want to talk to Li Wangyou any more.

"Hehe, it's a good investigation. The facts of this matter are in front of us. I wonder what else the Ming government needs to investigate?" Li Wangyou asked.

Lu Dejing couldn't help being a little annoyed, why is this young man in white so ignorant?

He flicked his robe, and said coldly: "What? How to judge cases in this county, do you still need a young man like you to teach me?"

Li Jing didn't say anything during the verbal confrontation between the two. He wanted to see how Li Wangyou, who was rumored to be extremely intelligent and talented, would handle this matter.

Li Wangyou said: "Mingfu, my Tang law stipulates that all those who make false accusations must sit back. Since this group leader has falsely accused someone of stealing property, they should naturally sit back and be punished."

"Hmph, the county knows it. The county just said it. It will investigate clearly and give you justice. Xiao Lang, don't push yourself and forget your identity!"

Lu Dejing was planning to use official power to suppress people, to suppress Li Wangyou, an uninterested kid in white clothes, so that he could turn around and let Bantou Tan go.

But after he finished speaking, Li Wangyou sneered, "What's the identity of someone? The Ming government almost forgot if they didn't mention him."
